It was observed during the inspection today that no work was going on in one of the confine spaces in the rear of the  ECC building where an Asphalt and compactment work is ongoing, and no measure in place to restrict the access into the confine space. There was also a strong smell of gas emanating from the confine space, which is an indication of a present of unknown gas inside.   ACTION: CMA advised Pivot; 1. Though the ladder for the access into the confine space is permanently inbuilt, hence cannot be removed, however, additional measure such as installing a guardrail around the confine space to restrict access to be immediately implemented. 2. Warning signage to be installed around   3.  PIVOT HSE team to continually monitor the location on daily basis to ensure that no activity will commence until necessary precautionary measures are in place.
